“The important thing is that the process whereby youths are now willingly renouncing cultism to take up vocational skills have started.
“The vocational job is to be instituted by the council chairman, the lawmaker and other stakeholders in Imota.
“We want a 24-hours economic and nightlife in Lagos,” Edgar said.
